Default 1989 needs wheel refurb.
Just picked up a nice 89 that needs a few of the factory wheels refurbished

Search came up with nothing, but I am sure it has been extensively discussed previously

Any recommendations on where to send them?

Default NOT www.fuchsrestoration.com HORRIBLE WORK
Anywhere BUT www.fuchsrestoration.com. AMATEURS

They runined two sets of mine, lied about it and basically told me too bad. $10,000 down the drain.
Before anodizing the wheels have to be polished. They over polished in some areas and now the wheels look warped / fun house mirror and some of the hard edges are now rounded. Hard to tell by photo, but trust me they are MESSED UP BAD!
Here’s one photo I have many others.

DO NOT SEND TO www.fuchsrestoration.com

Sierra Madre is doing them now too. Weidman is probably the best. If you can wait that's probably your best route.

+1 for Weidman's Wheels
Had a set of '89 Silver Anniv Fuchs restored by Harvey.
Not cheap but fantastic work.
